Star ingredients
  • Retinal: A potent Vitamin A derivative, celebrated for its ability to energise the skin's surface. It helps to accelerate skin turnover to visibly improve texture, smooth the appearance of fine lines, and promote a firmer, more youthful look.
  • Panax Ginseng Root Extract: A prized Hanbang ingredient, Ginseng extract is renowned for its ability to revitalise tired-looking skin, provide rich antioxidant protection, and support a healthy, vibrant complexion.
  • Bakuchiol: A plant-derived antioxidant celebrated as a gentle alternative to retinol. It helps to visibly improve the look of skin firmness and elasticity, smooth the appearance of fine lines, and refine texture with a lower chance of sensitivity.
  • Niacinamide (also known as Vitamin B3): A multi-tasking ingredient that helps to brighten and even out skin tone, refine the appearance of pores, and support a healthy skin barrier.

Directions for use

For night-time use only. After cleansing and toning, apply a pea-sized amount of serum to dry skin. Gently massage over your entire face and neck until fully absorbed. Always follow with a good moisturiser to support skin hydration. It is crucial to use sunscreen every morning when using this product.

Note: Do not use this product, or any product in the retinoid family, if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Pro tip: If you’re new to Retinal, introduce it slowly! Start by using the serum 2-3 times a week for the first couple of weeks, then gradually increase to every other night, and then nightly if your skin tolerates it well. You can also try the "sandwich method": apply a light moisturiser, then the retinal serum, followed by a richer moisturiser to buffer potential irritation. Always use sunscreen daily when using this product, and avoid use if pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
